Slightly lighter exposure of one of the photos . Hope this is clearer for you Adrian.

Regards,John

Subtlety is your middle name John & this fellow epitomises this.
Wasn't so long ago I know you said you weren't "feeling it", again this proves you are back in the game mate!

I too like the lighter shot as it allows us to see the softness of tones & weathering present.

Look forward to seeing this & other art in the flesh maybe later in the year.

Stay safe,

Mike

Thanks Mike , really appreciate your kind words mate . Really enjoyed painting this wee guy. As you knowI paint in most scales, 54mm is still my favorite scale followed close by 75mm. Hope to catch up in person later in the year too Mike.
Take care, John
